On December 13th, Central Division Officers utilized the CMPD camera system to capture a suspect who broke into a parked Toyota 4-Runner. Officers observed the suspect looking into three different cars before he broke the window out of the victims’ car and climbed inside. Officers responded quickly and captured the suspect as he attempted to leave the scene.
The entire incident was captured by the CMPD camera system. This system consists of CCTV cameras in Uptown Charlotte, and is directed toward public areas- particularly parking lots during this time of year. The CMPD cameras have captured over 200 crimes since their use began in the fall of 2000.
The suspect, Marquise Brown (R) was charged with felony B&E. He has been arrested and charged in three prior cases of auto theft in the Uptown area and has also been previously charged with Vehicle Theft and felony Breaking and Entering-Residence.
